There are several prayers before "Kneeling Prayers". The priest, cantor, and people do not kneel until the beginning of the first "Kneeling Prayer". The priest says "Again and again on bent knees let us pray to the Lord." Everyone kneels. After the kneeling prayer, everyone stands for the short prayers between each "Kneeling Prayer". This process is done three times. There are several prayers after the "Kneeling Prayers".

Some parishes do the "Kneeling Prayers" at the end of the Divine Liturgy on the the Great Feast of Pentecost or after a lucheon after the the Divine Liturgy on the the Great Feast of Pentecost.
